...conference, the two met and, it was said, Dulles blocked the handshake or he shook Chou En-lai hand, but wiped it with his handkerchief and then proceeded to throw the handkerchief away (569, 625). During Nixon’s trip, he treated China’s government with respect, and China did the same. This helped ease tensions between the two countries which was a necessary step to “normalize” relations. The U.S. hoped that this would bring China into the family of nations. During his time there they talked with Mao Tse-tung, a former Chinese leader, and made peace with him. This was not the only place Nixon stopped, he later traveled to the Soviet Union. As stated, there was still much tension between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. because of the Cold War. The problems that arose from the Cold War were regulations on Nuclear Weapons/Warfare. The reason Nuclear Warfare was talked about much more than any other topic was because...

...PST 522E – Synthesis and Characterization of Macromolecules CHAPTER 4 DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF EPOXY-CARBON FIBER COMPOSITES 1. THEORETICAL PART Composite materials have been used widely for daily life applications for many years. Polymer composite systems have a large scale for industry or research area due to their light weight, design flexibility, and processability [1,2]. Using polymer composite is widespread to use for special engineering materials such as aerospace industry, automotive and civil engineering structures because of their outstanding mechanical properties. Polymer composite theories were established on properties of composite constituents, volume fraction, shape, matrix-inclusion interface [3,4,1,2]. Mechanical properties of polymer composites are significant when they use for a building or an instrument which has critical points about temperature and strength properties [5-7]. Composite materials properties have been developed such as chemical, physical and mechanical, so their application area comes much bigger. Because of improvements on composites materials, their industry are growing on automotive, aerospace, electronics and biotechnology [8,9]. The important point of using nanocomposites is large scale, low cost, easy applicable [10]. In composites, two materials are mixed to make improvement in the mechanical properties. Matrix material is dominant and including material. The second material is particle, filler or fiber. Composites are manmade...

...Atmosphere, Geosphere, Biosphere, and Hydrosphere 3. What are the mechanical and compositional layers of the Earth’s interior? Compositional: Crust, Mantle, Core. Mechanical: Lithosphere & Athsenosphere 4. Know the prominent features of the continents and the ocean floor? 5. Define tectonic plate and which layers of the Earth’s interior they contain. Earths outer layer divided into several plates, composed of the lithosphere which is made up of the crust and uppermost mantle 6. What are plate boundaries? Know the different types of plate boundaries and processes at each boundary. Plate boundaries are the zones of interaction between individual plates. There are three types: Convergent/Compression (Destructive margins), Divergent/Tension (Constructive Margins), and Transform/Shear (Conservative margins) 7. What is the difference between continental volcanic arcs and island arcs? Both form at convergent plate boundaries, but continental volcanic arcs for at Oceanic-Continental boundaries while island arcs form at Oceanic-Oceanic boundaries. 8. What are hot spots and mantle plumes? Hot spot: A concentration of heat in the mantle, capable of producing magma that, in turn, extrudes onto earths surface. Mantle plumes: A mass of hotter-than-typical mantle material that ascends toward the surface, where it may lead to igneous activity. May originate as deep as the core-mantle boundary. 9. Define a mineral. A naturally occurring, inorganic crystalline material with a unique...

...Background to entrepreneurship Definition and interpretation The term enterpreneurship emerges from the french (literally between take or go between )and traceable to the eighteen century economiist Richard Cantillon ,Anne-Robert –jacques Turgot and Francios Quesnay ,The term was also denoted to an actor in charge of large –scale construction Project as cathedral, bearing no risk but simply carrying the task forward untill resoures were Exhausted ,the change in the use of term began in the seventeen century with a specific reference to risk bearing and enterpreneurship was tagged a person who entered into a contractual relationship with the government for the performance of a service or the supply of good ;The assumption was the price of a contract had been valued and fixed and the enterpreneur bore the risk of profit and loss from the bargain. In the eighteen century ,the term was applied in france in several way ; cantillon in 1725 referred to entrepreneurs as risk bearing .But he tried to differentiate the entrepreneurs who provide capital or funds from those who relied on their own labour and resources. That showed an entrepreneurial role as independent of the capitalist role Quesnay considered an enterpreneur as a tenant farmer who rent property at a fixed rent and produces a given price’s like cantillon bandeau ( 1797) and Turgot...
